About our Burnley service

Mobile Exercise Physiology in Burnley

The Monash Freeway runs straight into Richmond and Cremorne from our Dandenong North base. Our accredited exercise physiologist visits clients in Burnley (3121), usually around half an hour from our Dandenong North base, so appointments are easy to fit in.

If you're coming home from The Alfred or St Vincent's Hospital, we can carry on your rehabilitation at home. We see adults and older people with disability, chronic conditions and falls risk and build programs around what they want to get back to doing.

Example: A 24-year-old NDIS participant in Burnley with cerebral palsy wants to walk to the local shops. Our EP runs a mix of gait training, strength work and community walks, building distance each fortnight.
